I have been home on medical leave for about 10 days and my hubs has been running solo (we are usually a team)... he has requested home time for thanksgiving that is equal to the time he has earned by being out solo while I have been on medical leave. If he comes home for thanksgiving and I am on the truck too, do I have to then go out and run solo over the holiday while he takes his hometime? Or will they go ahead and let us have that hometime together? Anyone know? Or know who we could call to find out? Our FM is good about managing our loads and stuff but when it comes to company policy he is kind of out of the loop and always tells us to call some other to department to ask our questions. Thanks
Question.... about time off and holidays and stuff

I've never worked for us Xpress, but that would be low-down if they made you miss thanksgiving with your family.
blairandgretchen and naomipdx Thank this. -
I think your FM is afraid to tell you company policy, because he doesn't want you mad at him. I don't know about your company, but most FMs can let company policy slide.
blairandgretchen and naomipdx Thank this. -
I'd schedule the holiday off for you both and if there's any guff - tell them to shove it.
Family first, then freight.Dark_Majesty_06, BigBluePeter and naomipdx Thank this. -
Well she has been off on medical. Time for her to go back to work.
Let him Enjoy the cooking and traveling to see all the family members on both sides of the family. lol
The trk. needs to be running and she needs to make up for lost times.. lol
Any how hope you are doing ok for what ever caused the medical.
And there is always next Thanksgiving... -
No such thing as make it up, just stand your ground.
naomipdx Thanks this. -
They will let you stay home with your husband. You do not have to go out especially since its Thanksgiving. Just so you guys know....they will get you home for Christmas too. US Xpress is big on getting every single driver home for the holidays. Right before Christmas they assign extra people to help the load planners figure out how to get everyone home on time.
BigBluePeter, blairandgretchen and naomipdx Thank this.
